The lost meals entries consist of meals that occurred at various times throughout 2012 which, for any number of reasons, escaped my documentation \u2013 some due to a cross country move and a new job, some due to the Los Angeles Kings run to the Stanley Cup, and some simply as a result of too much travel. Having enjoyed many of these meals with friends or family and with some of them amongst the year\u2019s very best the reality is that with time my memory has deteriorated and as life moves forward I\u2019ve realized there is little hope to ever \u201ccatch up\u201d or document these experiences as well as I\u2019d hope, yet in order to preserve them I present these pictures, notes, and thoughts on the experience.<\/p>\n

For our third stop of the night it was decided we should finally pay a visit to Pequod\u2019s, a space formerly helmed by Burt Katz, where many claim the best deep dish pizza in the city can be found and although I cannot disagree that this is the best deep dish I\u2019ve experienced within city limits I most certainly can say I would much rather drive out to visit Burt\u2019s in Morton Grove than deal with the disorganization, noise, and hassle that is Pequod\u2019s ever again.<\/p>\n

Beginning first with a forty-five minute wait just to obtain a seat and progressing to a nearly thirty minute wait before ordering followed by a deafening hour-long delay before our pies would arrive there really is not much to like about the demeanor, decibels, or d\u00e9cor at Pequod\u2019s and although the beautifully caramelized crust and rich, bright tomato sauce certainly outshine the flavors at Uno or even Lou Malnati\u2019s it is only to a small degree \u2013 not one worth such annoyances, and the thin crust option was actually quite dismal \u2013 a limp pie with a doughy crust that could just as easily be made from a box at home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
